She's not the only furry member of the family to look for a warm place to hide and nap after a good 3 hour car trip. Agatha, one of my parents' Siamese cats, found another curious spot in the house to nap :) Would you look at her inside that drawer?!

[ I just love cats! ]

The next thing we did, right after lighting the fireplace, was going grocery shopping to get everything we needed for our Family Fondue Night!

Fondue is absolutely perfect for Winter time! And what I love the most about Family
Fondue Night is sharing. We all talk while cooking and sharing the same
food, and that's quality time to me!

We prepared this melted cheese fondue with garlic and white wine.

Then we served it with a variety of dippers: Cherry tomatoes, small potatoes, chopped green apples, toasted bread, mushrooms, ham and olives.

After this, we all went for a late evening walk in the woods.
The fresh air coming between the pine trees was so detoxifying !
I wish I had a picture to share with you of our walk, but it was pretty dark at that time of the day, so I didn't bring my camera with me.

Tomorrow I will update you again, so remember to come back :)

By the way, do you like cheese fondue too? ...And any dipper ideas to share?

I love fondue! It's such a great way to bond with each other. I still haven't found the perfect cheese blend, but we are going to experiment with a brie next time :) Hope you enjoy some much needed time off. Also so cute that you take your kitteh along with you :3

I love how you took the kitty babies with you on holiday!!! We take our dogs, but unfortunately, the cats stay home. My husband and I made a cheese fondue last week. I absolutely LOVE fondue! Thanks for sharing your family time :)

I should have known better than to read one of your food posts at 4am! My brain is definitely telling my tummy I need the packet of olives and feta cheese I have in the fridge! I adore fondue too and one of my favourite things is (and bear with me on this one) Edam cheese. It is such a hard cheese it works brilliantly in little 1cm cubes (any more and it is too rich). I loved baked garlic cloves for dipping too - they are gorgeous.
